Action by the Texas A&M Board of Directors (now Board of Regents) on April 27, 1963, opened the doors for women to enroll at the formerly all-male, predominately military institution on a “limited basis.” The intent was for women to be allowed to enroll at Texas A&M if their desired fields of study were not available anywhere else in the state. However, women soon started enrolling in ever-increasing numbers, and no institutional attempt was made to limit the areas in which they could study.

You could also attend as a woman if you were related to a faculty member.
My mother’s brother-in-law, for example, was a visiting professor.
So she was able to take some classes.

Really, the early 70s is the recognized date of admission for females.
